Chapter 16

"Hey."

Eve choked on his breath when he heard the softest whisper of his life.

He wondered whether he was dreaming, and he almost believed it when Alpha tilted his head and smiled at him. 

A smile that appeared as warm and gentle as a ray of sunlight in winter that appears rarely. A tender and an unthreatening smile that hypnotised Eve and made him doubt his own reality. 

"I was waiting for you?" asked a beaming voice with a hint of mischievousness in it. 

When Eve didn't make any move to speak and just kept staring at him with big innocent eyes. Alpha chuckled and put the juice on his bed, and stood up stretching his defined and firm body. 

Waiting for him? But why? Eve took a cautious step back. It's not good for him if the devil himself was waiting for him. What if Alpha wanted to make things even with him for his disrespect from earlier? Eve shivered at the thought of going through the same as that boy because, based on Alpha's earlier expression there's no doubt that one punch from this devil would end Eve's life.

And why is he smiling like a menace? Did he lose it completely after almost killing that kid? Or is this some kind of trick to lure Eve with his smile and then teach him a lesson? Eve couldn't understand. 

"Hey, are you alright?" Eve squealed like a wet squirrel when a tall shadow suddenly hovered over him and whispered, so lightly and softly that he almost missed it. When did he get here? 

Eve choked on his breath as his face paled, his nerves fraying from the unexpected closeness between his flushed face and a buffed naked chest. The rising waves of fear in his stomach, as well as the rising blush on his cheeks, did not help matters either. 

He looked up in a frightened but courageous manner, though immediately sucked in a breath when his eyes met Alpha's silver-brown ones which were heavy as if tired and slightly red as if drugged.

Eve couldn't take his eyes off the handsome face and felt as though his heart would burst out of his chest at any moment. He gasped as he grew warm from the closeness even though the body of his trapper was insanely cold. 

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I'm trapped. What if he tried to kill me again? 

"Ah–!" When Alpha extended his hand, Eve squeezed his eyes shut and let out a loud shriek. 

Eve hurriedly backed away to protect himself but his back hit the wall, leaving him with nowhere to run. He let out a muffled gasp, when he felt the coldness of the wall. 

He could feel the other's gaze on his face, and he could hear the rapid sound of his heartbeat in his ears. He swallowed hard and tried to calm his mind, but it wasn't easy when his whole body was trembling.

He flinched when Alpha raised his hand and slowly, as if not wanting to scare him, reached out to his forehead. Eve's eyes widened with fear, and he was about to scream when he heard the husky voice say.

"You look a little pale...Are you sick?"

He looked up and his eyes met with familiar dark eyes that were no longer beaming. 

He almost fell when Alpha charged forward, trapping Eve between the wall and his incredible height. Eve's heart raced, and goosebumps appeared all over his body as redness crept up his neck.

Alpha rests his hand near Eve's head and bends slightly down to meet his eyes. "You didn't answer my question?" He inquired softly, and Eve blinked as his heart almost immediately crumbled at the gentleness of his voice, as if he was hearing a lullaby.

Eve wiped his hands on his shirt as a heated stimulation ran through every nerve in his body. He began to panic and question his conscience, wondering if he was seeing and hearing things correctly. Was this another of his nightmares? Because Alpha acting rather than his usual scary side, scared him more.

"I-I----," He tried his best, but it's as if he even forgot how to form a word. 

"Are you afraid of me?" Alpha sweetly let out in a tender tone that had Eve hyperventilating as the poor and cowardly soul couldn't tell if he was getting played on or not. As his cheeks burn, he nervously bites his lips. Afraid of him? He's kidding, right? Everyone in this school is terrified of him, so how could Eve not be? "Well, that's adorable."

Eve sucked in a breath when Alpha slid his fingers beneath Eve's chin making him shiver at the chilling fingertips. The vicious boy was only intending to touch it but Alpha smirked in amusement when Eve raised his head for him automatically. 

"Good boy," He gently caressed Eve's cheek with his finger, as if to reward him who felt butterflies messing in his stomach. 

Alpha gazed at him with the most perplexing expression Eve had ever seen on his face. Alpha took a deep breath as his eyes wandered around Eve's face and halted at his lips. He carefully and slowly pulled out Eve's lower lip, which was being brutally chewed between his teeth.

Who am I? Why am I? Where am I? What am I even doing here? H-How should I get out of this situation? And why does he look like he'll e-eat me alive if I dare make a noise? Eve anxiously cried out in his head. 

"You never learn, do you?" Eve's eyes widened when he realised he was staring into his eyes this whole time. Alpha chuckled, and the voice had Eve squirming in his place and made him hotter than he already was. Did he just… laugh after I disrespected him? Crazy guy…

"I'm in a good mood, you know why?" Alpha stated as he drew his face closer and brushed his thumb across Eve's red and wet lip. Eve tried his hardest to keep his breathing steady, but his sanity failed him, and he didn't even try to pull his face away. He simply shakes his head. But, for some reason, he was curious about the devil's good mood. "I won't tell you, it's too soon. And I'm pretty exhausted."

Eve frowned in confusion and parted his lips to speak. This bastard is nuts. 

"T-Then why--um--!" As soon as he opened his mouth to speak Alpha seized the opportunity to stick the tip of his thumb between the two plump and moist lips. And when the hot breaths brushes against his cold thumb, Alpha feels sparks, and the tension between them quickly increases. 

Eve's eyes widened in terror and he hurriedly turned his face to the other side causing the cold fingers to leave his scarlet face. 

"T-Then you s-should go to sleep if you're tired," Eve suggested with thundering heartbeats. Alpha lets out a lopsided grin, as he moves his face closer to Eve's cheek, where his lewd breaths bother Eve. 

"Will you sleep with me?" Alpha smirked when Eve choked on his breath again and coughed nonstop. He laughed and rubbed Eve's back to calm him down. 

"W-what?" Eve stuttered with a terrified expression while trying to control his cough. 

"Not in that way, silly," Alpha smirked at his reaction. "I mean will you lie beside me?" While Eve was still facing the other side, Alpha stared at those rosy and chubby cheeks and grinned. He rubbed his nose up and down against Eve's warm cheek, finding Eve's trembling and embarrassed state quite arousing. "Though I won't mind sleeping that way either, you're just so pretty."

Eve's breath caught in his throat and an overstimulated current shot through his nerves as he hesitantly tried to flee from this tormenting situation, but the cheeky devil didn't appreciate his attempt and pressed both of his palms against the wall, either side of Eve's head. 

"Would you mind doing me a favor, Eve?" Studying Eve's overwhelming expressions and trembling body did not make Alpha feel pity for him, but rather made Eve appear more appealing and a perfect target to bully. He stepped down from the cheek and nuzzled his nose against Eve's neck, he inhaled deeply. "I'm out of my apple juice. Could you please bring me some?"

Eve's soul has left his body, walking through the corridors at this hour sounds like a horrible voluntary suicide, but he can't refuse this cocky creature in front of him, or he won't mind drinking his blood instead of juice.

"Y-Yes," So, Eve reluctantly nodded, and felt a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach as soon as he agreed. But, he quickly shrugged it off, at least he'd be out of the devil's blissful assault or he'll lose his mind completely. 

"Yes, what?" Alpha asked, the soft nuzzling started to become rough stroking, kicking Eve's endurance into an unwanted paradise. 

"Yes, A-Alpha?" Eve pants, thinking he doesn't like it if his position wasn't mentioned. 

"No," Alpha let out in a hushed voice and finally drew back and firmly grabbed Eve's flushing face, forcing him to look directly into his eyes so that he wouldn't miss his words. "Yes, Willulf."

Eve drew his brows together in confusion as he blinked at Alpha with his sapphire big eyes. 

"My name, it's Willulf." 

 😠😿😔

Dorm 3435.

Sage dead-mindedly turned the page of his book, he was intensely focusing on the inked pages but his thoughts were completely lost. River sitting across him on the other bed, passionately stared at his emotionless roommate, his thoughts were in an uproar. 

River let out a loud groan, and Sage jumped at the sudden disturbance. River dislikes the gloomy atmosphere around him, and Sage's current expression was suffocating.

Sage looked at him and blinked helplessly. He flinched at the visible annoyance on River's face and gulped in self-loath. In a situation like this, when he needs some consoling, River was giving him a cold shoulder. 

"Can you wipe that pathetic pitiful expression off your face? It's pretty annoying," River roared, making Sage startled as he started feeling more vulnerable from River's frustrated face. 

"I'm s-sorry," Sage softly murmured, as he lowered his head and River could see his ears dropping like a scolded puppy.

Sage doesn't want to be annoying, it's just that he can't help it right now. River felt like a dick seeing Sage trembling, probably crying and looking like a wet puppy who was abandoned in the streets on a rainy night by his owner. He wanted to scoop Sage in his arms and coax him until he calmed down but, as always, his anger got the best of him. 

Sage terrifyingly looked at the clock and gulped in horror, finding that it was time. Following his moist gaze, River rolled his eyes. 

"When will you leave, Alpha won't like it if you'll be late. Don't you wanna go?" River snarled harshly. 

Sage abruptly glanced up at him with eyes full of hopes and shook his head, his ears rising again. 

"Then why didn't you tell him so earlier?" And, River just has to poke those hurtful eyes with his stupidity, and with something else that neither of them was able to see. 

Sage didn't understand why River was so furious about it, when he knew Sage couldn't just simply say no to a killing machine.

"You know, why not," Sage defended. 

"No, I don't. You could at least try to stand up for yourself, and I was there for you. You didn't say anything. You know, I would have even begged him for you. But you simply accept your fate, or were you looking forward to this meeting as well?" River mockingly chuckled without any humor. Sage was taken aback to see the rage in his eyes.

"Have you fucking lost it? How would I know you'll stand up for me when you've never stood against Alpha? And I couldn't put your safety at risk as well," Sage panted angrily as well.

"At least try and deny it. And stop making me laugh, I promised you to look out for you in every circumstance and against whoever," River let out with a betrayed expression. 

"God, you're just impossible. I fucking hate you," Sage yelled, before throwing the book and dashing out of his bed. 

River yelled behind him. "Of course, have a great and steamy night." 

Sage closed his eyes as he felt a stabbing pain in his chest but kept on walking. 

He had no idea when it all started. His life has been a never-ending roller coaster of problems.

He was living peacefully in a small village in the countryside. From two loving parents to two adorable little siblings, his world was beautiful in the rivers and fields. But everything has an end, and when a massive flood destroyed their entire village, his parents died while trying to save them, and their happy little world was shattered into millions of pieces. To raise his siblings alone, he moved to the city, which turned out to be the worst decision of his life. Because things never worked out for him but he needed to feed his family, he began selling himself on the streets. Although he didn't make much money, he was able to feed his younger siblings.

However, that didn't work out for longer too and he somehow ended up in Sunford. 

Sage took a deep breath to try to calm himself down, wiping away his stray tears he sniffled the pain away. He remembered his fight with his bastard roommate as he stood in front of room 670, but couldn't bring himself to enter and dared to face the devil.

He exhaled a deep exhausted sigh, his eyes glistened with painful tears. He was supposed to be living a great life with his two cute little siblings, but now he's just someone's boy toy, who doesn't even understand his feelings for him and treats him like shit like everybody else. 'Your brother is not weak, just wait for me, I'll come to you soon and give you the bestest life.' 

Encouraging himself, he sucked up the agony for his little two gems and knocked on the door. There was a dangerous silence for quite a while but then came a dreadful voice that sounded murderous which had Sage's entire life flashing before his eyes. 

"Come in." 

When Sage entered, he discovered Alpha lying on a desk with his hands clasped behind his head and his eyes closed. Without giving Sage a chance to respond or blessing him a glance he growled. 

"Strip," 

Alpha jerked his head in Sage's direction who had a hard time gulping down the lump in his throat. 

"Or do you want me to do the pleasure?"
